LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND CHAIRMAN MR K F J ENNALS CB MEMBERS MR G R PRENTICE MRS H R V SARKANY MR C W SMITH PROFESSOR K YOUNG THE RT HON KENNETH CLARKE QC MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT PROPOSALS FOR CHANGE TO THE ELECTORAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE COUNTY OF WILTSHIRE INTRODUCTION 1. The present electoral arrangements for the County of Wiltshire date from May 1981 when the County of Wiltshire (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1981 came into force. It provided for 75 electoral divisions. 2. In 1983 Wiltshire County Council and Thamesdown Borough Council drew our attention to a number of electoral imbalances between county divisions. We concluded that because of major changes to the size and distribution of the electorate which had either taken place, or were expected to take place, a further review of the County's electoral arrangements would be appropriate. 3. Initially, we decided to conduct a two-stage review in order to deal firstly with the Toothill area of Swindon and, secondly, with the rest of the County. We reported our proposals for Toothill on 2 November 1984 in our Report No 486 and our proposals were implemented by an Order, which came into effect on 2 May 1985. However, when we came to the second stage of the review, the County Council drew our attention to the continued growth of the electorate in the Toothill area and requested a full review of the County. We therefore reconsidered our earlier decision and decided to conduct a full review of the County's electoral arrangements. 4. We announced the start of the review in a letter dated 3 September 1987 and invited the County Council or any other interested party, having regard to the requirements of Schedule 11 of the Local Government Act 1972, to submit to us a draft scheme for revised electoral arrangements for the County. Copies of the letter were sent to the County's five District Councils; to all the parish and town councils and parish meetings in the County; to local Members of Parliament; to the headquarters of the main political parties; to local newspapers, radio and television stations; and to the local government press. The start of the review was also announced by press and public notice. FORMULATION OF OUR DRAFT PROPOSALS (i) The County Council's Draft 5. On 17 February 1988, the County Council submitted a scheme based upon the 1987 electorate and the forecast electorate for 1992, which recommended an increase in the size of the Council from 75 to 76 members. It proposed an increase in the number of divisions in the Borough of Thamesdown by one with the number of divisions in the other four districts remaining unchanged. The scheme offered an improved standard of electoral representation by 1992 when 31 divisions would have ratios of electors to councillors varying 10% or less from the County average (compared to 16 under existing arrangements), and 20 divisions would vary from the average by more than 20% (against 27 under existing arrangements). However, we were concerned that the County Council's draft scheme still left too many divisions varying significantly from the County average. Furthermore, we were concerned that the ratio of electors per councillor would deteriorate significantly between 1987 and 1992 in the districts of North Wiltshire and West Wiltshire. rts on the County Council's Draft Scheme 6. We received 42 comments in response to the County Council's scheme, of which 13 were forwarded to us by the County Council. The comments included two alternative schemes for the whole county and one solely affecting the district of West Wiltshire. These are discussed below. (iii) Alternative Schemes 7. Alternative schemes for the whole County were submitted by Thamesdown Borough Council and the South-West Regional Office of the Labour Party. West Wiltshire Conservative Association submitted a scheme which provided alternative arrangements in West Wiltshire but otherwise was identical to the County Council's scheme. (iv) Our Conclusion 8. We considered that Thamesdown's scheme did not provide any significant improvement to the County Council's electoral arrangements in terms of electoral equality. West Wiltshire Conservative Association's scheme marginally improved the standard of representation in West Wiltshire, but it failed to address electoral imbalances in the rest of the County. We concluded that neither scheme offered any advantage over the County Council's scheme. 9. We considered, however, that proposals submitted by the South-West Regional Office of the Labour Party for a 68-member Council offered not only a better overall standard of representation than the County Council's scheme, but also enhanced the extent of cotenninosity between county and district councillors. We therefore decided to make this scheme the basis of our draft proposals. PUBLICATION OF OUR DRAFT PROPOSALS 10. Our draft proposals were issued on 12 January 1990. Copies were sent to the County Council, the five District Councils in Wiltshire and all those who had either received our consultation letter of 3 September 1987 or had made representations to us. Notices were also placed in local newspapers, announcing that the draft proposals had been published and could be inspected at the offices of the County or District Councils. Comments were invited by 9 March 1990. 11. Following a request by the County Council, we agreed to extend the deadline for receipt of comments by two months. A letter announcing this, and rectifying a small error in our draft proposals, was issued on 9 March 1990 and sent to all those who had received our draft proposals. We also asked the County Council to advertise notice of the extension in press and public notices. RESPONSE TO OUR DRAFT PROPOSALS 12. We received representations from Wiltshire County Council, the District Councils of Kennet, North Wiltshire, Salisbury, Thamesdown and West Wiltshire, 30 parish councils, two county councillors, one district councillor, the North Wiltshire Conservative Association, the North Wiltshire Liberal Democrats, the Labour Party branches for Salisbury, Bemerton, Thamesdown District, Swindon Constituency, Lower stratton, Wiltshire and Devizes Constituency, the Wiltshire Association of Local Councils and its Thamesdown Area Committee, the Governors of Wilton Church of England Middle School and three members of the public. In addition, Purton Parish Council forwarded a petition signed by 55 local residents opposing our draft proposals. Thirteen of these representations supported our draft proposals, while 42 opposed them, sixteen representations commented on our proposals for Salisbury, twelve apiece on our proposals for North Wiltshire and Thamesdown, eight on our proposals for Kennet and three on our proposals for West Wiltshire. The remaining four comments related to our proposals for the County as a whole. (i) Wiltshire county Council's Revised Scheme 13. The County Council responded with a revised scheme for a 69 member council (an increase of one member over our draft proposals). The most noticeable difference between Wiltshire's new scheme and our proposals was the creation of a fourteenth division in North Wiltshire, to be known as Dauntsey Vale. However, although the number of divisions in the other four districts was to be unchanged, Wiltshire proposed a few further amendments. In Kennet, it proposed that the parishes of Chute and Chute Forest should be in Collingbourne division rather than Bedwyn and Pewsey division and that Devizes South division should be re-named "Devizes South and Bromham", in both cases to reflect local ties. In North Wiltshire, in addition to the new Dauntsey Vale division, it proposed that minor amendments should be made to Chippenham Park and Town divisions, including their re-naming as North and South respectively, and that Box division should be re-named "Pickwick with Box". In Salisbury, it proposed modifications to the divisions of Amesbury, Downton, Salisbury Bemerton, Salisbury Harnham, Tisbury, and Wilton and Wylye, in order to reflect local ties. The County Council also loosely suggested creating a fourteenth division in West Wiltshire (which would further increase the council size to 70) but made no specific recommendation for the area the division would represent. (ii) Alternative suggestions for change 14. A number of suggestions for partial revision of our proposals were received concerning North Wiltshire, Salisbury and West Wiltshire. These are discussed in the following paragraphs on a district-by-district basis. (a) North Wiltshire 15. Four alternative suggestions were received. North Wiltshire District Council, like the County Council, recommended a fourteenth division for the district but, instead of creating a new division (as under the County Council's proposals), the District Council recommended the splitting of Cricklade and Purton into two separate divisions. Chippenham Town Council suggested creating four divisions for Chippenham instead of the three suggested in our draft proposals. This would also increase the number of divisions in North Wiltshire by one. North Wiltshire Liberal Democrats suggested adopting the County Council's proposals for North Wiltshire, except for Box and Corsham divisions, where it suggested that the District Council's proposals, providing for a Box division comprising the parishes of Box and Lacock and the Gastard and Neston town wards of Corsham, and a Corsham division comprising its town wards of Corsham and Pickwick, should be adopted. Finally, Lydiard Millicent Parish Council requested inclusion in Cricklade and Purton division rather than Wootton Bassett North division. (b) Salisbury 16. Two alternative suggestions were received. Salisbury District Council (supported by Idmiston Parish Council and Councillor Mrs J Hitchings) suggested the retention of fifteen divisions in the district, the transfer of the parishes of Firsdown and Landford to Alderbury and Downton divisions respectively and the transfer of Stratford district ward to Salisbury St Mark's division.
